An appearance on the front page is less about sink/swim and more about feedback. Early feedback and first-hand user experiences/ideas are a huge asset for a start up. HN is unique because its readers are more likely to be early adopters, and most have a tech background - which I have found improve the quality of feedback/suggestions.
Love this idea. Would be happy to see it added to HN.
